Exodus 3 gives the account of Moses and the burning bush. In verse 13, Moses ask " Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shell say unto them, The God of your fathers have sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them"
God answers in verse 14 stating "...I AM THAT I AM...I AM hath sent me unto you"
Living in the Spirit Study Bible notes "I AM THAT I AM is a He brew phrase that indicates action. "God was in effect saying to Moses, I wish to be known as the God who is present and active" (pg 98)
Wow. God revealed Himself as THE God who is present and active in our lives. Which means that He is always with us. Which means that as His children, as His descendants and as heirs to His throne His presence is always with us. It means He is always working, always guiding, always leading. God promises in scripture after scripture that He will never leave us or forsake us. So what does all this mean?
It means we need not be in church to worship God. He is always with us.
It means He is forever our protection, provider, friend, strength, compass and so much more.
It means that when I feel lost and all alone, He is right there with me.
It means that God's active power and His comforting presence is forever with us.
So friends I encourage you to live in His presence. Fear not and hold on to all the promises He has made to you in His word. Live in Victory. Live in Peace. Live in Faith. Live in Love. Live in Christ. Hope in our God never disappoints.
I am grateful to serve a God who has my back, who promises to always be by my side.
